Speed propels greatness—in football and shoe design. In 2019, Nike drew inspiration from the concept to create the first football boot in its Mercurial Dream Speed (MDS) series. On the heels, Nike introduced seven innovative spikes. Reaching new heights in design and performance, the line became iconic, worn by the world's best and fastest footballers, like Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappé and Sam Kerr.

On 4 November 2024, Nike rolled out the ninth shoe in the series. The Mercurial Dream Speed 009 breaks new ground. Galvanising a great game, the MDS 009 is the most responsive shoe in the line. The reason? An improved three-quarter-length Air Zoom unit underfoot for a springy, propulsive feel.

Setting another record, the new silhouette boasts the thinnest upper in the MDS series, bringing you closer to the ball and shortening the break-in time. The snug-fitting upper is composed of Vaporposite+, which combines a soft, premium lining with a grippy, grid mesh.

The mesh features Nike Gripknit, a sticky material that moulds to the shape of your feet and helps you grip and control the ball. For a secure feeling, an integrated speed-cage structure locks in your feet.

For a more secure feel on your ankles, go with the high-top Nike Superfly 10 Elite Mercurial Dream Speed FG High-Top Football Boot. Or, if you prefer a low-top, choose the Nike Vapor 16 Elite Mercurial Dream Speed FG Low-Top Football Boot. With either style, a wave-like traction pattern featuring chevron and blade studs will help you change direction quickly.

Design has always been at the forefront of the MDS series. Past shoes in the line have been inspired by everything from blueprints and the speed of light to space shuttles and flowers. Building on this legacy of innovation, the MDS 009 features a distorted pattern along the forefoot. Along with adding a dynamic visual element, it symbolises how self-confidence can help you break through barriers. Blue represents focus, orange symbolises creativity and metallic chrome evokes trophies.
